WORCESTER – The Worcester Police Crash Reconstruction Team was investigating a motorcycle crash near Granite Street on Friday, September 3, when an officer at the scene arrested an unrelated motorist on firearms charges around 4 AM.
An officer at the scene had blocked Granite Street to enable the investigation into the motorcycle crash. A vehicle approached the scene at a high rate of speed, did not slow down, and drove past the cruiser at full speed and several hundred feet into the crash scene.
